#January travel support event #Kyoto travel #Kyoto cafe #Arashiyama #Kyoto places to visit 📍Kyoto ex cafe ✔️10:00~18:00 ✔️Tatami style interior, standing seats ✔️Danggo that I grill myself Arashiyama ex cafe's signature menu is dango 🍡 It's a place where you can feel another kind of fun because you can grill it yourself And I also ordered matcha shaved ice and iced coffee. The dango combo is grilled yourself over charcoal And white dango, mugwort-colored dango There were a total of 6 dango! And 2 kinds of dipping sauce It comes with warm matcha 🍵 One of the two sauces was red bean The other was like rice syrup! The rice syrup was mixed with something salty like soy sauce What is this? I ate it all while wondering what it was. It has a decent danggo flavor. The matcha bingsu is made up of matcha rice cake, danggo, red bean, and matcha sauce on ice. It's a fairly large portion and simple! It's a bingsu with a strong matcha flavor, so I recommend it to those who like matcha! I don't recommend it to those who like sweet things.

#Kyoto Arashiyama High Quality Dessert Coffee This time I found a very high quality dessert and coffee shop in Arashiyama, Kyoto. First of all, this coffee shop called ex cafe, the facade is very beautiful. Due to the autumn leaf season, the door has a lot of red leaves very attractive. Also the purple sweet potato flavor was very tasty, more attractive than the grilled little balls, you can also check in, drinks can have several options, we chose coffee and matcha, are delicious. You must try it when you go to Arashiyama.

This cafe is easily accessible, just a one-minute walk from Arashiyama Station on the Keifuku Line (commonly known as Randen). I stopped by when I went to Arashiyama for a visit. I visited at around 1:30pm, so I was able to enter without any wait time. By the time I left, there were already several groups waiting, so it might be best to go a little later. I ordered the most popular fluffy dango set and the warm zenzai set. It was so much fun to grill the dango myself and we had a wonderful time. The facility, a renovated mansion from the early Showa period, is also very nice.

eX cafe Kyoto Arashiyama Main Branch 35-3 Sagatenryuji Zorojicho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City It has a lovely gate and a lovely garden! It's especially recommended during the autumn leaves season! ❥︎Fluffy dumpling set The dumpling skewers you eat while grilling on a charcoal grill, both the "white" and "mugwort" were freshly grilled and delicious. They're hot, so I recommend dipping them in "anko" or "mitarashi" and letting them cool a little before eating them♡ I was very satisfied with the variety of flavors, whether it was with mitarashi or anko♡ The matcha was also delicious! #ArashiyamaTrip #ArashiyamaCafe #ArashiyamaGourmet #KyotoTrip #KyotoGourmet #GourmetTrip

While on the outside it looks like a formal place..One fo those Japanese ones where you worry how do I do this or how do I do that. Inside is very casual with a beautiful Japanese garden and that zen like ambience. This is a special place for lovers of Japanese dessert which like any other Japanese thing involves high creativity and simplicity. The peaceful zen garden and Japanese traditional music have a revitalizing effect as you settle in. The ice cream flavors tasted like they were made from the real ingredients. You can taste the sweet potatoes, yuzu and matcha. We enjoyed our hoku hoku odango combo set and zenzai. #japantrip #desserts #traditional #kyoto

One thing you should definitely try in the ancient capital of Kyoto is grilling dango in Arashiyama 🍡 At eXcafe Kyoto Arashiyama Main Branch, the popular "Hokuhoku Dango Set" is available for 1,220 yen (excluding tax), where you can adjust the doneness to your liking on a charcoal grill 🩷 It's amazing to make freshly grilled piping hot dango with your own hands! They brown faster than you'd think, so be careful not to burn them ⚠️ The atmosphere of the shop is nice, so you can relax while looking at the garden ✨ #Sakura2024 #KyotoTourism #KyotoTrip

🍵eX cafe Arashiyama main store 📍Arashiyama, Kyoto (10 minutes walk from Saga-Arashiyama Station) I went to eX cafe, a cafe renovated from a mansion from the early Showa period✨️ This time I ordered the Tenryuji Parfait Set (1650 yen) and the Sennen no Koi Parfait Set (1550 yen)️📝 I had the Tenryuji Parfait Set for Mogu Kayu🙏 A Japanese-style parfait with organic matcha ice cream, organic roasted green tea ice cream, matcha warabi mochi, seasonal sweets, and shiratama. There were two types of ice cream, and it was quite filling✨️ The matcha ice cream was an original Ixcafe product, made with rich matcha and had a refined sweetness and bitterness that was delicious💕 The Japanese umbrella sitting on top was also cute☺️ You could choose from matcha, green tea, black tea, or coffee for your drink set🙆♀️ There were tatami rooms and table seats available. I was shown to a table seat, and it had a view of the garden! It's very Kyoto-like, isn't it? 🍵 I also recommend going in a kimono ✨️ . . . . 📌35-3 Sagatenryuji Zorojicho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture 📱075-882-6366 ⏱10:00-18:00 🗓Irregular holidays . . . . #excafe#excafeKyotoArashiyamaMainStore#excafe#ArashiyamaCafe#ArashiyamaGourmet#Arashiyama#CafeHop#KyotoCafe#KyotoGourmet#kyoto#kyototrip#kyotocafe#KyotoOuting#KyotoSightseeing#KyotoTrip#MoguKayu#Gourmet#Sakura2024#MomentsStarted

Location: Ix Cafe Kyoto Arashiyama Main Branch Address: 35-3 Sagatenryuji Zorojicho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture Access: About 10 minutes on foot from JR Saga Arashiyama Station This shop sells a lot of Japanese sweets, and is famous for the "Hokuhoku Dango Set" where you can bake your own dango. It tasted even better because you can eat it at your preferred doneness. I often found the mochi to stick to the grill, and my companion laughed at me, so please try your best to bake it without it sticking! #Sakura2024 #Kyoto #KyotoTourism

Many people visit Arashiyama many times, but you definitely want to visit the classic popular cafes at least once! So, this time I'd like to introduce "eX Cafe", which is about a one-minute walk from Arashiyama Station, a popular tourist spot. The atmosphere of the cafe is typical of Kyoto, and it's close to the station, so the cafe is so crowded that there is a line from around lunchtime until the evening! You may have to wait outside 😌 It seems to have been renovated from an old mansion, and the unusual interior with sofa seats and a Japanese-style room is truly a cafe that is "unique to Kyoto" 🎉 #Kyoto sightseeing #Arashiyama sightseeing #Arashiyama gourmet
